Abstract:
The paper attempts to re-read Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter” from a feminist perspective. Patriarchal society tries to impose a binary of “angel in the house” and “monster woman”. In this paper, the binary of “angel woman” and “monster woman” is challenged and debunked. The research methodology includes close reading of the text.
